To a oor- respondont of the Recorder he related the following experience: "For many years I was troubled with a lame back, which gave me great pain at times, and caused ine much loss of sleep. I tried different kinds of medicine but found little or no relief. The spring of 1895 I waa assisting at getting out ice one day when I felt something snap or give way in my back, and it was some time before I conld straighten myself up. I now became so bad that when I .laid down I was unable to rise without as sistance, and I fully made up my mind that I had' become a chronic invalid, and never expected to see a well day again. A couple of weeks aftor my baok had almost entirely, given out, t aaw by an article in the paper that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured a per son troubled similarly, and I immedi ately sent and procured a box to test them. Before I had finished tho box I found my back somewhat, stronger bo I procured ilvc boxes more and by tho time thoy were used I. found myself completely oared. Since I took the last box I have not had a pain or parti- ole of lamenoss, and my health has been far bettor than it had been for years be fore. To ensure obtaining tho genuine al ways ask for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as there are many pink colored imita tions. ^1;1^ Sale about Two Hunted and E'ifty Pairs of Shoes at a Discpil^^ of Twenty per bent, from/Our Usual Close Prices. ; ^^1* Will be Inoluded Shbes[tae'M^^ Slioes fox Women.; Bhx)e&;:(:^m Boys; Shoes for Girls; Slioes for Everybody. 1.20; worth 1.75 for 1.40 ; Women's shbifcf!
